Chapter 945 The Honest Girl Who Went Crazy (20)
At the dinner table, Gu Huaiyuan rolled up a roast duck for Mu Zhou, filled with Mu Zhou's favorite side dishes.
After seeing this, the sister-in-law gave her husband a wink.
That means, "See? I guessed right."
The older brother, receiving his wife's teasing, also scratched his head.
I really didn't expect it.
When his wife told him that his younger brother treated his sister-in-law differently, he firmly said it was impossible.
His younger brother is arrogant, stubborn, and doesn't listen to anyone. He's always been a man of his own mind.
Having had her life's most important matter schemed against by Mu Zhou, she was lucky she hadn't been strangled to death; how could she possibly become a loving couple with him?
When I checked today... his wife was right.
*
Gu Huaiyuan's family stayed for three days and then quickly returned home.
Mu Zhou also resumed working.
She arrived at school early to clean up before the start of the new semester, as tomorrow was the first day of school for the students.
She needs to clean the library inside and out today in preparation for the students' arrival tomorrow.
The next day, as soon as she arrived at school, she sensed that something was off.
Today is the first day of school for students. After finishing the various tasks related to the start of the semester, many students will come to the library to take a look around.
But there are an unusually large number of people today.
Everyone's eyes kept glancing at Mu Zhou.
Mu Zhou was somewhat confused.
Teacher Xu pulled her aside and whispered:
"Do you know what's going on at school about you?"
"My business? What business do I have?"
Seeing Mu Zhou's bewildered expression, Teacher Xu looked somewhat anxious:
"Regarding you and your husband, some classmates said that you forced your military officer husband to marry you by drugging him. Is that true?"
Mu Zhou instantly realized that these things must have been spread by Gu Qing and Gu Ying, the brother and sister he met that day.
Teacher Xu pulled her along:
"I heard that the logistics department received a report and may fire you. Explain yourself; I'm sure you won't."
After all, she had witnessed it firsthand; when Mu Zhou first came to work, her husband had come to see her off.
If the rumors are true, her husband must hate her to death; why would he care about her anymore?
Unexpectedly, Mu Zhou said:
"Actually, what they said isn't wrong."
Now it was Teacher Xu's turn to be dumbfounded.
During lunch break, Mu Zhou recounted what had happened. Teacher Xu rested her chin on her hands and stared intently at her.
Finally, her eyes suddenly welled up with tears:
"Mu Zhou, you are so pitiful. The love between you and your husband is so touching. He has realized his love for you, and you will be happy."
"..."
Mu Zhou never expected that Teacher Xu would react this way after hearing everything.
However, considering her recent obsession with Hong Kong and Taiwan romance novels, I can understand her somewhat.
Teacher Xu is a somewhat simple person, and she lives a very happy life. Her favorite thing to do is hold a book, which gives her a very literary and artistic vibe.
Recently, I've been particularly struck by some romance novels that I read privately. I not only don't see anything wrong with the relationship between Mu Zhou and Gu Huaiyuan, but I'm also extremely interested in it.
She whispered to Mu Zhou:
"To be honest, I've been submitting articles to newspapers privately; they're romance novels. May I include these things in my novel?"
Mu Zhou certainly didn't mind:
"Sure, remember to beautify it for me."
Teacher Xu's eyes lit up:
"no problem!"
She also decided to go to the logistics department to explain the matter to Mu Zhou and arranged to treat her to a meal.
But to everyone's surprise, the rumors were debunked by the afternoon.
When Mu Zhou got off work, he unexpectedly saw Gu Huaiyuan at the school.
He was invited to give a speech at the school.
His unit had recently accomplished an almost impossible mission, earning commendations from all members, with Gu Huaiyuan receiving a second-class merit award.
Beicheng University specially invited him to give a speech at the school to boost morale and conduct patriotic education.
Originally, Gu Huaiyuan refused and planned to send someone else.
He has never liked these kinds of occasions.
But a chief of staff whom he greatly respected approached him.
The chief of staff's wife is a professor at Beicheng University.
Gu Huaiyuan, a man who never learned to bow his head, made a special trip to see his former boss when he learned that Mu Zhou was working at the Beicheng University Library.
I earnestly request that the former leader's wife help take care of Mu Zhou.
Therefore, Mu Zhou was able to work there steadily.
It's important to know that even in informal positions, many leaders are eyeing these "good jobs."
Everyone wants to bring in a relative.
Gu Huaiyuan was afraid that Mu Zhou would be replaced by a higher-ranking leader's relative, which would be a setback for her, so for the first time he privately "pulled strings" for her.
This left a deep impression on the chief of staff.
They even joked that he had indeed become more humane after getting married.
When the chief of staff heard his wife mention the rumors circulating at the school, he immediately summoned Gu Huaiyuan.
It's a reminder, but also a sign of care.
Gu Huaiyuan was the chief of staff's most outstanding student and subordinate, so naturally he would be concerned about his private affairs.
Gu Huaiyuan did not deny the rumors, but simply added:
"I did it willingly."
Is there anything else the chief of staff doesn't understand?
Therefore, Gu Huaiyuan agreed to go to Beicheng University.
After the speech, he waited for Mu Zhou downstairs.
Mu Zhou was momentarily stunned to see him at school.
After realizing what was happening, she ran straight towards him.
A smile spread across her face as she looked up at him.
"How did you come?"
"I'm here to give a speech at the school, so I'll pick you up."
慕舟瞬间化身星星眼：
"Brother Gu is amazing, to be able to give a speech at Beicheng University."
Gu Huaiyuan rubbed her cheeks with obvious pleasure:
"Let's go get some hot pot."
"Great, it's been a long time since I've had this."
The two left, chatting and laughing.
The students who had been eavesdropping and observing for a long time couldn't help but discuss:
"That soldier must be Ms. Mu's husband, right? It seems the rumors are untrue."
"But I heard all this from Gu Qing, who is that officer's younger brother. How could he be lying?"
"Mind your own business. Maybe drugging someone is just a little playful thing between husband and wife."
At this moment, another student overheard and interjected:
"Didn't you listen to the speech? Those rumors are all outdated."
The others looked at each other in bewilderment.
What speech?
It turns out that after Gu Huaiyuan's speech, a student asked him how he got through the most difficult times.
Gu Huaiyuan first spoke of the support provided by the Party and the state, and then added at the end:
"And my wife, she gave me a little dog she knitted herself, to keep me company in her place. When I was about to give up, I touched that little dog and thought of her. I want to come back alive to see her."
A round of applause erupted from the audience, and many were moved to tears.
As he stepped down from the stage, he casually mentioned to the accompanying teacher that his wife worked at the library.
Now everyone knows that Mu Zhou's husband is a great hero who has made military achievements.
Furthermore, the couple has a harmonious relationship.
Gu Qing and his group were outsiders and probably didn't know much about the couple's relationship, so they conveyed the wrong information.
